Abstract

We address the dynamics of damped collective modes in terms of first and second moments. The modes are introduced in a self-consistent fashion with the help of a suitable application of linear response theory. Quantum effects in the fluctuations are governed by diffusion coefficients Dμν. The latter are obtained through a fluctuation dissipation theorem generalized to allow for a treatment of unstable modes. Numerical evaluations of the Dμν are presented. We discuss briefly how this picture may be used to describe global motion within a locally harmonic approximation.
